Contender is without a doubt the most know horse of dam line 2472. But his half-brothers Cornetto or
Cassandro I and II live up to his legacy. This is the same family as Loreen, the 1.60m GP-horse of Samantha
McIntosch, which dominated speed classes with Manfred Marschall. The sire of Celestia is Cantoblanco,
sieger stallion in 2008, son of another sieger stallion, Canto in 2004. The base of this sirelinage is the
olympic performer Canturo. Calato is well known as the sire to Cöster or Corinessa (H.Bourdy) but he
is just as influential as dam’s sire to successful horses like Commisario (J.Epaillard) and Chupa Chup
(B.Alves).
